For SRD people not in the know I'll give you guys some background info, HHCJ is not like your typical circlejerk sub. Someone in the thread described it perfectly as a hip hop /r/cringe. Besides your usual circlejerk stuff about rappers and music they often target and name specific users then make fun of them. Usually it's harmless but in the case of Heatrock he has been getting it from that crowd for a while and now it's apparently culminated in this.
Regarding the person Shun who is named there he is a HHCJ mod and basically the ringleader of that crowd. He was the first and biggest hater of Heatrock which is why he is being named among suspects for this, he has also been involved in numerous other user vs user drama. The HHCJ users tend to look up to him.
Also there's always a strong HHH/HHCJ presence in SRD threads whenever they pop up from people who don't usually come here so keep that in mind.
Edit: this thread has now been linked to /r/hiphopcirclejerk so users from there are now coming/voting here.
lol, pepito is angry cause he often feels left out of HHCJ. He's just really whiny, so take this with a grain of salt.
You're a lame, he's absolutely correct
HHCJ has become so far removed from just a place to make some harmless satire. It's SRS and r/cringe influenced and it's becoming a bullying sub and "point and laugh at all the fambruhs"
Circle jerk subs shouldn't follow the SRS style of posting they should be witty, self aware and completely harmless.
Implying that HHCJ isn't harmless. So far we have one dude who claims his cable was hacked and he got threats. He's not even posting screens of what happened. So far we have his word and that alone. To be quite honest, I'm not even sure if you can hack cable.
He's drumming up a witch hunt for no reason. Heatrock alone is doing more in the last five hours to hurt other users than HHCJ has done in the last six months.
For no reason? He just got doxxed and can't comfortably do the shit he loves, being a power user, no matter how lame that sounds but it mattered to him.
And that may be true but it's still a relatively negative sub where you guys literally point out individuals and make fun of them. You don't see people on circle jerk doing that.
I'm also a little salty that a really funny sub turned into shitHHHsays and essentially a bullying sub. HHH hate it or love it is one of the best communities on this site and shit like this just shouldn't happen, having a sub like HHCJ around will only cause problems
We have no idea if he was doxxed or not. Literally none. No screens, nothing. All we have is his word. Fuck, I'm gonna say I've been doxxed then if it's the cool thing to do.
>you guys literally point out individuals and make fun of them. You don't see people on circle jerk doing that.
You clearly don't pay attention to the meta sphere at all then. This happens all the time. How about karmanaut or bipolarbear or unidan or fucking aalewis? Those are just a few people I can remember being named or indirectly referenced on circlejerk.
I really doubt heatrock would just straight up lie about this shit.
I feel as though those people are more like memes, they're huge and brought themselves into the limelight on purpose. While you guys go on HHH, see someone say something that seems stupid to you, then point them out, power users or not. What I meant was people on most Circlejerk subreddits don't literally link comments they think are stupid and then make fun of them. They make fun of the theme. I'm not entirely out of the "meta sphere" but I am straying away from it simply because it's not funny anymore and shit gets way to serious
Just because this happens all the time doesn't mean it's ok.
Heatrock is also in the esports community IIRC. Who is more likely to hack someone's Steam account, HHCJ or the volatile and vindictive esports community?
>I feel as though those people are more like memes
Nope, those are accounts with real people behind them. I've talked to some of them. They are very real.
The esports community is 100% more likely to do something like this. I don't understand the point of your questions though. If you think it was someone from the esports community you may be correct but someone on HHCJ did admit to fucking with heatrock.
I understand these people are real people but it's just that they are celebrities to the entirety of reddit, which is a shithole, and they are the butt of a lot of jokes and they are well aware of that. I guess it's just the scope, the scale. Heatrock wanted to contribute and learn about a community who's ideology is just being "chill" and liking the music, while huge reddit power users want to do the same thing but in a community with a much different ideology.
> someone on HHCJ did admit to fucking with heatrock
who? I'm legit interested. Please hit me with a link.
Heatrock also attempts to make himself big on HHH like those other users on Reddit in general do.
You guys get off on being dicks. Just look at this. That was immediately after you guys bullied someone who was talking of suicide and he deleted his account.

INB4 people turn off my cable with 1337 haxxor cause I like Star Wars too much
Fuck this is getting old, turning shit into jokes to make it seem like it's nothing.
You didn't like the dude five months ago. Maybe someone just decided to be a dick after a while.
really? you are really gonna bring up the sudo situation to me? I was one of the ones who got his PMs. I felt bad for the dude, he needed to take some time off. He thought HHH made him cool. The truth is, for everyone on the internet is simply some name on a webpage to most people. No one cares about you on the internet unless you meet some close reddit "friends". A sub of over 100k people will forget about you in a blink if/when you leave.
Also, about that screen. One thing, shun isn't even in that screenshot. Two, the best insult HHCJ could think of was "feet socks". Big bullies with their feet socks, am I right?
Look at these shun screenshots.

You guys are bullies and the fact that you're so adamant about defending that you're not shows that you know you've done something wrong.
that dude had been messaging the HHCJ mods for like ten hours at that point and they were fed up with the dude's bullshit. For that matter, that specific user (if it's the dude I'm thinking of) planned this out in the plug.dj room.
I'm not positive that I believe HEATROCK about being doxxed, but HHCJ seems pretty terrible and there are some screens in there showing how much of an ass that shun-16 dude is, so there's that.
Selective screen shots make me a dick lol. You realize those kids were messaging us for a period of days attempting to "troll" the moderators. They specifically talked shit about me across 3 or 4 different internet sites and social media.
Heatrock himself sent me a message last night before any of this public nonsense saying he knew I had nothing to do with anything, but yall love this kinda shit, INTERNET DRAMA. So yeah I clearly used my vast internet h4x0r skills and did all this whatever stuff, I can barely set my subreddit CSS but I'm the mastermind here.
This is a lot of people who have been banned from our sub by various mods who get mad at us, say our sub sucks yet constantly make alts to post in it. But we have the problem. This is exactly like the sudo situation, zero evidence, no names are named, but it's totally our fault... Then they make a new account after taking a break from reddit and acknowledge that they spent too much time and they needed to chill out. We're a tiny sub, we have no influence.
HHH breeds this kind of user, these kids that go outta their way to get "reddit fame" and then they are shocked people get sick of them posting in every single thread. Almost as if fame has consequences? Perhaps if people didn't take a website so serious to the point they attempt to become famous on it this stuff would happen less.
You banned me for making a hhcj post about you. You can dish it out but you can't take it.
Take what dude I don't care if people say shit about me, every other thread on any given day is kids like you crying about me, someone else probably banned you. Stork and I openly had a race to ban people we deemed shit posters, this is part of the continuing joke of the sub. We do it because it makes us all laugh. You're free to say whatever you want about me in much bigger subs than HHCJ.
Dunno why everyone gets mad for being banned in HHCJ if you all think it's such a bad sub. You guys are just all bout the drama stuff, you're in here posting a shit ton about this and that, shit you aren't involved in. You guys just perpetuate this stuff till it blows up.
just checked that wasnt even shun-16 but nice try
Seriously, this dude is nuts. He thought he had me by the balls because I jokingly posted about heatrock in a satire sub about shun lol
Nah, that was on another account. This time I got banned for this: http://www.reddit.com/r/Hiphopcirclejerk/comments/23gam8/heyguysitsmymonthlylaughonmychinese/cgwst6k?context=3
wizzo banned u, hes the css guy not sure why he thinks hes allowed to be a real mod
What is your real username?
Did I say anything wrong?
I don't feel left out of HHCJ as I don't really like the people there. I also tried to be as impartial as possible so if you felt I was biased somewhere maybe point it out instead of being immature?
Pompsy is a HHCJ regular and one of the aforementioned who look up to Shun btw for anyone looking for context.
dog, you realize "partial" means biased? so uh, yeah you were partial. Shun was not and is not the biggest hater of Heatrock. Shun is like SRS on HHH. Doesn't do much, gets blamed for everything.
Dude of course you'd defend him, you're part of the people who rally against other users.
lol, clearly the alt of /u/thestanoftyler is back. Nice try man, there is no rallying of users in HHCJ. All that literally happens at worst is we make fun of people who get too big of heads. Fuck, it happened to me and still does occasionally.
There are at least two users on HHH that have flairs that say "pompsy=bitch" or something to that effect. Guess what? I don't care. I have better things to do than worry what people think of me on the internet. I just post what i want, and I don't care what people think of it.
/u/thestanoftyler is my old account
oh nice. TBH your a much better poster after taking some time off.
one of them is me cus ur a bitch
Exactly.
I don't care if you have the flair. Nothing bad is happening to me.
HELP HELP I'M BEING OPPRESSED.
Watch your cable bitch
I am posting fam bruh guards around my house as we speak. I also ripped the internet out of my walls so people can't shrink themselves down and walk in on the little wires.
Alright, I'll just leave this here.
hahaha, check that dude's profile. He just goes around and posts hateful things in random subs. He's hit Bitcoin, HHCJ, sports, prettygirlsuglyfaces, and TodayIlearned. he doesn't even have flair in HHCJ, so I guarantee that he doesn't go there regularly.
> He just goes around and posts hateful things in random subs
So basically, hhcj's demographic.
yes, because literally all of HHCJ posts hateful things about HHH. No. the worst they/we do is make fun of people who think they are important on HHH. I realize that if I delete my account on reddit and disappear, no one would care. Do others?
Also, for real, we all know you are /u/thestanoftyler and you are still angry that I told you to take a break from reddit.
Impartial* excuse my spelling error but being that you pointed it out I guess you know what I meant.
I've never peeked in HHCJ until I saw them mentioned in HEATROCK's post and they all seem so salty about something, and I can't figure out what it is. I don't recognize any of the users there, either, so I'm guessing they just lurk HHH silently judging until they can post in HHCJ?
Yea basically. A lot of users in HHCJ have said they hate what HHH has become since it grew to _____k subscribers and have sworn of it. Yet they still frequent the circlejerk sub to discuss it.
They're also kind of like the HHH SRS whenever hints of racism,misogyny, etc pop up. And sure a lot of times they make great points regarding some of the BS that's said but just like SRS there's also a bunch of times when they are just looking for things to be mad at.
